Maternity Leave? More like VAY-KAY!!

So... I suppose many use their precious (and they ARE precious) weeks of maternity leave relaxing & sleeping, etc, etc. We Iggys prefer to cram as much fun & travel in as humanly possible. I think Ella will definitely grow up to be quite a little travel bug. Anyhoo... our next trip was to Utah- to visit with family & let them get a good look at the newest little Ig. We snuck in a trip to Hogle Zoo, despite the SNOW (that's right, folks, SNOW) & Mara LOVED it. Next was quite a big job-- settling our little house in Bear Lake. It is coming along & though it was a LOT of work (shout out to my most patient mother & to who-ever invented Cheetos, the perfect bribery snack), we are very excited & had a lot of fun!

P.S. These updates are dedicated to a very special Phoenix lady-- you know who you are... sorry they took so long... nap time is golden hour around here!! XOXO

Thanks for all the comments, I was shocked! ;P I try to do FHE's every week but sometimes I am just winging it :) I took the pics of my little Indian boy, I have been getting into it lately. It's fun but I am definitely not pro, I practice on Ash's little girl :) So i am still going to call you this century.... love ya!

Our Story...

Our fairy tale begins like this... Once upon a time, there was a lovely girl named Liz and a rambunctious boy named Josh. The day they met, they danced and from that moment, they knew that they would be dancing all their dances together for the rest of their lives. Ten years later, they are even more in love and blissfully living out their happily ever after.
